Good quality I use it in soups and stews

Great addittion to stews & casseroles

5 stars

A Tesco Customer23rd October 2022

Always throw a handful of pearl barley in stews, casseroles and 1 pot dinners. These swell up beautifully and add to the sauce texture.

Not rice

Why is this in the microwave rice category?

It should be called a super grain

5 stars

A Tesco Customer21st January 2021

At this time of year there is nothing quite as good as a home made broth. Recently made a 2 litre batch of Scotch Broth in a slow cooker to my own recipe which requires about 150 g of the good old Pearl Barley from Tesco and their price is about right whereas health food shops and the like always seriously overcharge. One can have it just as it comes in place of rice but it takes about twice as long to cook it. No matter it tastes better and the mineral and vitamin content is significantly superior to rice.

Good product
